            Our home away from home!”

            Staff, location quiet room

            Simon, manager extraordinaire, set the warm, welcoming tone of our entire 22 day stay. Without exception, from the doorman to the owner,everyone treated us wonderfully well. The location is ideal, allowing for quiet nights (a real bonus for Yangon) and just a short taxi ride to downtown. Staff couldn't have been more attentive or kind including the laundry ladies next door. The only cautionary note is that some of rooms are quite dark. That said, Excel Palace will be the hotel of choice when we return to in Yangon.

            Peaceful pleasant stay”

            The hotel is quiet, off-street and provides all the basic necessities. The attached restaurant provided a variety of good-quality, affordable food.

            Our stay was very pleasant and peaceful. Our room was cleaned and serviced daily and the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The restaurant next door was excellent and there were other nearby options. The hotel is quite central to most Yangon tourist sites and handy to the airport. We especially enjoyed our early morning walks along the nearby Inya Lake.

            Fantastic Hotel, well located”

            The Staff, The rooms, The attentivness

            The hotel is a small hotel in what looks like a family house. The rooms are big and comfortable. The staff are amazing, I have never stayed at a hotel where the staff have tried so hard to make everything perfect for you. They are very attentive and available 24 hours a day. The hotel is located arounf 15 mins from teh city center by taxi, it costs around $2 -$3 to go there. It is also easy to get to the major shopping areas and tourist attractions. The hotel is in a very quiet area, no noisy nights, but again, easy to get to areas where there are bars and clubs etc. The cost on agoda is very good, and to be brutally honest, all teh other hotels in this town are gouging tourists as much as possible. I will be here working for a few months, and will not consider changing to a different hotel. Highly recommended.

            Good budget hotel and worth the money”

            A value for money hotel with big room.

            The price of hotels in Yangon is rapidly increase from Y2012 (double or triple than in the past) while the remain the same quality and services). This is one good value for money. The room is big. Hotel staff is very supportive. But need to renovate the toilet, you need about 5 min. to get the hot water.

            Overall my stay has been pleasant....The Staff is very helpful, friendly and responsive, arranging everything and addressing any request..they are the real asset of this hotel. Though a bit oldy, with some rooms a bit dark, the comfort and services are good as per Yangon hospitality standards for this category of hotel. Very good value for the money well located easy access to taxis and numerous restaurants in the neighborhood

            Spacious rooms

            Friendly staff & large spacious hotel although no lift does make ascending to the upper floors somewhat difficult. The hotel has a great local restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner with tasty burmese curries on offer. Not as centrally located as other hotels, however it only costs two to three dollars for a taxi into downtown Yangon & the sights on offer there.

            Staff friendly helpful and good English. Linens and towels clean, the bathroom is clean too, you may have to ask them to turn on the water when you arrive. Aircon working but noisy. Wifi in the room is slow but worked until 11 pm, then came on again in the morning. The building is old. They are doing their best with what they have to work with, as Yangon is not a luxury destination if you are not staying at a luxury hotel. Room was dark with windows opaqued, and could use more lamps or lighting.

            This hotel is located North Yangon and far from city center. But once u experience the city center of Yangon and know the caos and messyness, u probably feel better in this location. There are many nice restaurants around and Shwe Dagon is also close. Next time I come to Yangon, I will choose this area to stay and this hotel could be the first choice.

            Just off the main street with taxis and places of interest in walking distance.

            For those who travel in Asia this is a good hotel with friendly staff and run more like a friendly guest house than an impersonal hotel. And for the seasoned traveller if the slightest thing goes wrong they are quick to respond with a variety of solutions. Just ask. The hotels restaurant has a wonderful variety of food with friendly staff in a relaxed environment. The perfect way to start the day.

            best services

            the good points first 1) Extremely fast service. Specially at the front desk Mr. Simon, I did never see anybody as efficient as he was. Whatever suggestion I gave him during my 1st day stay, when I came back to the hotel in the evening, the same has already been implemented. You ask for something and all the staff were ready to fulfill your demand to their best effort. 2) Good wi-fi speed 3) very close to Inya Lake, so one can go there for a morning or evening walk Slightly negative points: 1) Sound proofing of rooms were not upto the mark. 2) Breakfast was not upto the mark. Still, I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody who can manage with little bit of noise and breakfast.

            The staff is very helpful and work to keep you happy.

            The facility is old and the staff struggles to keep things working. There was no water in my room on arrival but a plumber was called and the water was running in an hour or so. A breakfast of egg, toast and fruit is served in the Chinese restaurant next door. The sign in the room reminding greats that 'narcotics and gambling are prohibited' gave me pause, but everything was fine. Laundry service is good and inexpensive. Staff will get you a taxi, negoitate price and provide directions. The room was clean.

            Hotel is well located and very quiet during day and night. Room's size is reasonable and it comes with hot/cold water and air-conditioned. Being within the vicinity of shopping malls and street markets there is much saving of travelling costs. Mode of travelling for us is mainly by Taxi. Rates very cheap - ranging from 1,500 Kyat to 5,500 Kyat that is about S$2.00 to S$7.35.
